h.Click Save/Display and close the Contours dialog box.

This gives and idea of how the fluid is exciting the volute.

3.Display filled contours of static pressure.

Results → Graphics → Contours → Edit...

a.Enable Filled in the Options group box.

b.Ensure Pressure... and Static Pressure are selected from the Contours of drop-down lists.

c.Select blade, impeller-hub and impeller-shroud from the Surfaces selection list.

d.Click Display and close the Contours dialog box.

Pressure distribution in the flow domain is plotted in graphics window.

10.5. Summary

In this tutorial you completed a fluid flow simulation to evaluate the performance of a pump and volute. You created a custom expression to determine the head generated by the pump.

You can watch a video of this case being set up, solved, and postprocessed at:

Further Improvements

10.6. Further Improvements

This tutorial guides you through the steps to reach a basic solution. You can explore what effect varying certain parameters, such as impeller speed and outlet flow, have on the performance of the pump. You can accomplish this by parameterizing the appropriate inputs and outputs and running an optimization study in ANSYS Workbench.
